We were visiting Dearborn and since I'm German, went to the Bierkeller with high hopes. Sorely…read moredisappointed. No bratwurst or wurst of any kind and single schnitzel offering. This is a German restaurant in name only. Service was sub-par. My party sat for 10-15 minutes before water was offered. Ordered appetizers and our dinners. Dinners came first followed five minutes later by appetizers. My order of Chicken paprikash was lukewarm and I could find very little chicken in it. I was so hungry I regrettably ate it that way. Waitress never checked back if everything was ok or if we wanted another round of drinks. I generously give two stars because the Weihenstephaner Dunkel on draft is a rare find and the German egg rolls are outstanding. Other than that, our visit was sehr enttäuschend (disappointing)

Craving German food and was already in Ann Arbor ... so off to Metzger's for a late lunch…read more Only one problem, I ordered potato pancakes as my side and received potato salad ... not a big deal as I was struggling to decide between the two. The French Onion soup rocks. Made with good, heavy German bread. Ditto for everything else we ordered, especially the sauerkraut - plenty sauer. Will I return? Absolutely, yes.

When last in Ann Arbor, paid a visit to Metzger's, an old-line Geeman restaurant that was formerly…read morein downtown Ann Arbor, but has since moved to the west side of town. The ambiance is simple but pleasant - no frills. I ordered sauerbraten, which is one of my go-to German dishes. I also got red cabbage and spaetzle as accompaniments. All were very good, as is typical at this establishment. The co-diner got the charbroiled salmon filet with potato pancakes and green beans (the veggie of.the day). Our server was quite busy, but kept things moving in a pleasant manner. If you are in search of classic German cuisine, professional service and comfy environs, look no further than Metzger's.

Horrible! We are in town visiting family and my 90 year old uncle was so excited to bring us here…read more From the moment we walked in, the staff were extremely rude. My Uncle made the reservation in person with one of the managers. He requested the main room and was never told we wouldn't be able to sit there. He paid a cover charge to reserve our table and was a little upset we weren't in the main area. The servers and staff were extremely rude. I've never seen such rudeness. Luckily our server was new and not yet corrupted by her rude coworkers. The food was just ok. What a shame, this was supposed to be a Detroit treat/experience for a few in our group visiting for the first time.

The building has been there a long time, and you enter a different world when you walk in the front door. First off, you need a reservation. No big deal. We scheduled around the time of the piano player, that added to the atmosphere. There is something cool to look at everywhere. They were a bit short-staffed this night, according to our waitress, who mentioned it a few times. You could tell, things were moving really slowly. We got a few drinks and some St Clair punch (water), and waited to put in our order. We split some entrees, and while the sides are of decent size, the entrees themselves were on the small size. I've been to some other German restaurants, their entree sizes are significantly larger in the same price range. The separate sides of spaetzel were decent size, but kind of dry. We should have tried the cheese version. Things were decent tasting, but not amazing. The carrot apple slaw was a lot better than we expected. I'm glad we finally came and had the experience, it's really a historical gem.
